True...but the Weapon X people had him in their clutches for 8 months...who knows what they did to him beyond making him into a brimstone furnace (and desperate enough to kill to escape)? Perhaps they threw a few growth hormones into his dinner?Originally posted by taekwondodo
He's certainly never looked or acted 14...

Kurt's love interest?
I re-read the Ultimate X-Men "Return of the King" TPB last night (TBP's are a perfect length for indulging in a nice, long, hot soak) and thought of this discussion.
I think the writers portray him as different ages. It's a bit of a continuity glitch, but I enjoy the series enough to let it slide. When he's first introduced, he's portrayed as very young, very innocent, and very abused by the Weapon X program.
When we see him again in "Return of the King," he's competantly driving a car while having his junior 007 moment on the run from the police. He's drawn very much as an adult. Sure, we could gloss over the dialog and small hints of maturity, but at the end of the TPB, he's 'porting all over the room, serving champgne. When Bobby asks for some, Kurt chides that Bobby better have a VERY convincing ID. This would suggest Kurt's at least 21 (legal drinking age in America) if he's both serving and making sure minors don't drink.
Then we move on to the next storyline and suddenly he's portrayed as being around 16, interested in normal teen things, and no longer Mr. Junior 007.
I'd harass Marvel for not keeping up with continuity, but when they DO keep up with it, you get Editorial Direction for all storylines and little room for the writers to stretch creatively. I'm willing to forgive the wandering ages and other minor continuity issues in exchange for a well told story.

Amen to that! Having all the different perspectives is what makes comics in general a joy to read.Originally posted by Lysistrata

Sail away where no ball and chain
Can keep us from the roarin' waves
Together undivided, but forever we'll be free.
So sail away aboard our rig
The moon is full and so are we,
We're seven drunken pirates
We're the seven deadly sins.

if Kurt would get together with either Ororo or Wanda I would be very happy.
but I was always weirded out by Kurt/Amanda. they were raised as siblings, though more abstractly than American families.

Re: ultimate NC's varying age,
well being drawn adult is one thing but in regards to his traumatic past (weapon X and just being blue and furry) it could just be that he grew up quickly and the fur, combined with the fact that his face is "always in shadow" making it difficult to guess his actual age would attribute to the um... age swings that we see
and i always thought that NC and Cecelia Reyes (sp?) would make for an interesting (if prickly) couple

Heh. Besides revealing Kurt's age, that's one of the best quotes in the series. "A Marilyn Manson fan who can kill you if she touches you..." touché!

Why anti-Amanda? I love her...especially Darick Robertson's rendition of her.
I was skeptical of the whole Rachel Grey thing...but I've just now gotten into the Uncanny X-Men: The New Age TPBs, and that whole pirate thing was cuuuute, plus Storm really angered me with her Wolvie-kissage. The look on Kurt's face...ouch. Nobody hurts the fuzzy elf! Not on my watch!

I'm not so much anti-Amanda. But that whole relationship is straight from the Ick Files.

Yeah, he gets all the fame, the spotlight- AND he's played by Hugh Jackman.
And now there's life/ And a chance to make up for all those mistakes/ But please don't get me wrong/ Cos everything was honest/ True and from the heart/ There's still the same old hang ups so don't fret/ It's not safe yet/ And who knows there's always time to screw up again

Thanks Angelique for pointing out that priests arent priests because of having nothing better to do. I know a bunch of priests who are cute, intelligent, funny, kind guys, who are also devoted enough to thier faith to go farther with it.
As far as I know, if they suspect you are only joining the priesthood to escape or because you cant get something you want like a girl in secualar life, they would council you, but never let you go on to being a priest.
In American Catholocism at least.
Kurt would have been a very good priest, but his calling was for a differnt realm, and being a priest is way too hard a job to go off and be a part time Xman on the side.
I did think it was lame to make his mentor all evil etc. I understand it was a way to get him out of being ordained... but still....

I don't think his romance with Amanda is going to restart:die
We know that Wolverine is gonna get Storm
So that leaves us with and , I think.
But I'm not so sure about Wanda after House of M.
In short I am confused, Marvel should just stick him with someone and stop dancing about the subject.

Since it's obvious that the Marvel universe is having trouble sticking him with a female companion...he should try something new, if you get my drift. :naughtyfun fun.
But that's just MHO.

I dunno, I think after HoM what Wanda needs is a little male companionship....specifically with a guy who can procreate....Originally posted by confusedelf

They do have a daughter...however alternate universe she is (does anyone else find it odd that Wanda has yet to meet/know about TJ? I do...)
And no, i'll never give up on this pairing :p

Hmmm... have Wanda meet T.J. interesting,
I wonder what will happen in the Next Uncanny since It is titled "End of Grey":?

As a second thought will they pair T.J. with anyone.

Ideally, none of the above. But of those options, I'd say Ororo's best.
